FAQs

Are Novesta Star Masters true to size?

Novesta Star Masters generally run true to size. However, due to the natural materials and construction, some users find they benefit from trying a half size up or down depending on foot width and preferred fit. It's recommended to check specific sizing charts or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The cotton canvas upper is not waterproof, so these trainers are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. While the natural rubber sole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to wet feet and potential color transfer.

How is the durability of the natural rubber sole?

The natural rubber sole is known for its durability and flexibility. The unique vulcanisation process used by Novesta ensures a strong bond between the sole and the upper, contributing to the longevity of the trainers.

What does 'vulcanisation marks' mean?

Vulcanisation is a process used to strengthen rubber. The visible marks on the toe and sole of Novesta Star Masters are a signature of this traditional method, indicating the shoe's authentic construction and quality.

Are these trainers suitable for vegans?

The trainers feature a 100% cotton upper, natural rubber sole, and recycled rubber insole. As Novesta uses no animal products in the construction of the Star Master, they are generally considered suitable for vegans.

How do I maintain the white canvas color?

For white canvas, regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents. For stubborn stains, a specialized canvas cleaner might be effective, followed by air drying.

What is the warranty on Novesta Star Masters?

Warranty information can vary by retailer. Typically, Novesta products come with a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It is best to check with the retailer where you purchased the shoes for specific warranty terms.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

The trainers are handmade with natural materials and may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they become more comfortable.

Canvas becoming dirty

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently spot clean the affected area. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry.

Sole separation

While rare due to the vulcanisation process, if you notice significant sole separation, contact customer support. Minor separation at the edges due to wear is generally normal for this type of construction.

Color transfer from canvas

Darker colored canvas trainers may experience some color transfer, especially when new or wet. This is typical for dyed canvas. Wear with matching colored socks initially and be mindful of contact with light-colored materials.
